In tough times consumers tend to cut back...so where are you cutting
back, reprioritizing resources, whatever to make that dollar go

I am also posting this in the metal and wood working groups to hear
how those who pursue the hobby are allotting their resources.

Thanks

Well I built a sawmill 3 years ago so wood isn't a problem for me. The
economy has actually made me get into my hobby more. I find that I
stay home after work most of the time now and just build things to
keep my mind off the economy and job fears.

Saying that though, if the economy gets worse and I loose my job I'll
probably have to sell my place, get an apartment and get rid of my
tools since I won't have a place to store them.
